I've got a lot to do today but nothing with a specific time so I treated myself to no alarm clock.  How lovely! Now I'm working on hydrating before I head out to run as many of my planned 11 miles as possible.  I can't believe my race is in 6 weeks.  G

I made it to Friday, thank goodness.  It's been a long and challenging week and each day brings new information that makes me feel like I'm living in a nightmare and just need to wake up.  This is not the most useful attitude to have, especially consid

Thursdays are going to be my challenging eating day this term.  I have class until 1pm and then I have choir at 7pm.  Going home and back again wastes an hour, so I feel like it'll be better to just hang out on campus but then there's the whole eating

Hi all!  Since there are a lot of new people here, just wanted to mention that this post is open for all to join. Many of us find that posting our plans daily helps to keep us accountable.  :)

Today is my one day of freedom between winter term

I have about a billion things I need to do today, but the only thing I MUST do today is finish my paper for my class in the next 4 hours, so that's what I'll be working on.  Once I finish it I'll need to see where to start with everything else!  I had

I'm up super early to go into DC for the march.  Woo!  

Meals today?  Who knows.  Maybe protein bars all day!  But I'll get lots of liquids and exercise.  So that's a good thing.  

How about you?  

Another busy day here - my company arrived safely last night which means I was up entirely too late enjoying chats!  This morning everyone else is working from home, but I'm going out to my fitness classes since my body and brain need them.  Then, this

Today will be a very busy day for me.  I found out yesterday that all we need to do on Monday is submit our final paper, so that makes today the last day for my soul-sucking class.  Yay rah!  But then I need to come home and wait for the electrician to

Three classes left for my soul-sucking class!  Yesterday my prof said that no one would need WLS if all hospitals required a year of monitored exercise/eating.  Awesome.

2: I need to be out for a while, so I'm leaning to

I'm in the final countdown for my class.  Four sessions left!  Three this week and Monday!  It's going to be a busy week of finishing things and getting ready to host some DC escapees and then go into DC for the March on Saturday, but I remind myself t

I'm super grateful not to have my soul-sucking class today!  I'll be spending the days at the movies (Live by Night and Moonlight) and then grocery shopping and getting ready for class to resume tomorrow.  Four class days left!

I'm heading home at some point today, after a lovely weekend with my mom.  No idea what dinner will be since I'm not sure when I'll be home and I know that I won't be cooking.  Maybe Chipotle since it's been awhile and we've got a BOGO?

Saturday and I'm with my mom!  She and I went to a local park for our morning constitutionals.  We walked together to start and then I left her in the dust to run ;)

I have never been more in need of a four day weekend since I first started college.  My current class is soul-sucking.  But I'm in PA with my mom until Sunday and life is good!

2: going to a place for lunch, they have quic

It's Thursday!  As a full time student, I tend to only have class M-Th, but this weekend is even better since I get to spend it with my mom!  Woo!  I'll be heading up north after class, running, stretching, and packing.  

1: protein shake

It is very cold today, but going to be in the 30s by the time I'm home from class and able to run!  I'm looking forward to that.  I wasn't able to run over the weekend due to weather.  

1: protein shake
2: leftover bonchon OR sardine salad

I knew when I went to bed last night that I wouldn't be running early this morning due to yesterday's snow, so I didn't set my alarm!  Still woke up at 7am.  Grumble.  I'm not sure if I'll be safe to run today. It's 13 feels like 4 outside and we're be

I am up way too early for a Saturday!  But I am planning on going to SkyFit which is the fitness class at the new local trampoline park.  I'm SUPER excited.  I tried to do it on 12/17, but we had an ice storm and I didn't feel safe driving.  Of course,

Yay!  It's Friday!  No class today!  Yesterday my prof proved to be... dangerous.  I had good hopes for this one too, but she actually took us to a FoodBabe page and presented it as being REAL science.  It went downhill from there.  So I'll be document

Today is my second day of winter term class!  I'm taking Intro to Sociology and it's scheduled from 8-1 for 11 class days.  However, my prof seems to be letting us out at 11:15 so we have more time to read/write.  Which is sort of cool!  When I get bac

I called insurance and there is an employer exclusion on plastic surgery, even with medical necessity. There's also an employer exclusion on bariatric surgery which is shit. So it's a really good thing I had my VSG when I did!!

I'm not sure how on the ball I'll be with getting these posts started this week - between kidney stone pain and getting ready for holiday travel, I'm not feeling it!  I ate like crap yesterday, but today is better and I'm feeling more motivated.
